To find the number of emergency kits \( k \) that Oliver packs, we can set up an equation based on the information provided.
Since Oliver puts 5 water bottles into each kit and he packs a total of 125 water bottles, the equation can be formulated as:
\[
5k = 125
\]
Now, we can solve for \( k \):
1. Divide both sides of the equation by 5:
\[
k = \frac{125}{5}
\]
2. Perform the division:
\[
k = 25
\]
So, Oliver packs **25 emergency kits**.
